Third time's a charm :)

February 7, 2012

I woke up determination to finish this Christmas video...a little over a month late but hey I got it done! While I worked on it Joel helped out around the house with the kids. I ended up having to upload the darn video countless times. The first time it said it was a duplicate so it rejected the upload 2 hours later after it finished uploading. Talk about frustrating! If you remember I had already had it uploaded and public for about 2 days a week ago but I found lots of new footage and once I was done with the editing process I had 9-10 more minutes to include into the video. I put the original on private which was only around 11 minutes in length & the new one is 22+ minutes so it wasn't the same, not even titled the same but the duplicate message was what the error received. The second time I uploaded it I clicked the wrong file to upload & uploaded the original file. :/ I could have very easily kicked my self in the butt because again I didn't realize this till it was done & saw the time length so yet again another 2 hours wasted. Third time was the charm thankfully! It however took 6.5 hours to upload the 1080 HD, 22+ minute video. However it's done & it's up!!!! Finally, I can stop messing with it.

I was running a little behind with getting ready. It was the first day of Jacelyn's class at The Little Gym. We were so blessed with her birthday party and tons of great family & friends & even a gift certificate all the way from Germany (Thank you Tanja!) that her entire semester was covered aside from $15. Plus she even received iTune gift cards too!

The white bag holder we bought from Ikea & I want to get another one & put them side by side on the door and use the other one for our body bibs that you see on the floor currently in this picture on the lazy susan that we need to sell. ha

We ended up leaving the house before Joel ever did which is rare. We were a little early to The Little Gym which was fine. The kids got in a short 20-30 minute nap & I was able to nurse Peyson in the truck who is quite the gymnast now so it's more like nursenastics with her. When I have the chance to just sit and nurse in the truck we do because she is all over the place and doesn't care who she's exposing me to.

My current personal best in Scramble! Come play me ;)

Jacelyn loved her class. She's a little behind her peers in the class but this is her first class. Most of the kids have been taking since they were Peyson's age. She really lacks upper body strength and I'm not sure if she'll ever gain it as I still lack this myself. My lower half makes up for my upper half though, ha. We'll practice at home when we can. I was just thrilled I didn't have to coax her in the room without me or anything. She ran straight in there & never thought about me for a split second. I was shocked & relieved! My big girl is growing up. Just hope every week is like this week and it wasn't a fluke.

After class Peyson nursed for an hour in the truck. Thankfully we didn't have anywhere to go & the kids took another little nap till we got home. Our schedule is a bit off as this is the only time for her class and we normally eat dinner at 5. Not sure what we'll do come this day every week but we'll have to figure out a new plan.

She's still at 15 lbs. All three of mine just stopped gaining weight for the most part once they were mobile. Peyson is no exception. Kacen stayed 18 lbs for almost 6 months.

I spent my evening talk about some personal family related issues. Eventually I will 'tell all' but currently I can not as it's still on going. I do want to touch basis on it so when I look back I can remember what I was feeling. Anxious just about sums it up. Our life could be changed and turned upside down as some would say however I see it as a great situation though and when I hear "upside down" I think of it being a bad situation. I'm on pins & needles waiting to see what comes of it. Soon as Joel got home we talked about the family issue a bit more in depth and went to bed.

Question of the day:
